Xiao Xinrong led the army to escort the grain all the way to the east, and from time to time encountered wandering homeless people on the road, reaching out to people to beg, the closer to Shoucheng, the more frightened, the worse things were worse than Xiao Xinrong imagined, and there were starving corpses on the road from time to time.

"Pass the order, speed up the pace, don't rest tonight, and rush to Shoucheng as soon as possible!"

Ordered the soldiers to speed up their pace, this batch of food is for the people in Shoucheng to save their lives, and if you rush a few minutes earlier, you can save more people's lives.

Hurry up, and finally when night fell on the second day, everyone rushed to the city of Shoucheng, and the honor guard of the royal palace was erected under the city gate, but the carriage was empty and there was no one.

Zhang Hu was angry in his heart, and asked an entourage, "What about your prince and princess?"

The entourage said respectfully: "The prince invites Prince Alcohol to go to the palace for a while." ”

Xiao Xinrong stopped Zhang Hu from continuing to ask, his expression was a little serious, the third brother must have had an accident, otherwise it would be impossible to come to the city gate to greet him.

Thinking of Xiao Xinming's body, Xiao Xinrong's heart was tightly pinched, and he waved the horsewhip in his hand and said, "You take someone to settle the grain, and you will go to the palace to meet me in a while." ”

"The prince ......" Zhang Hu was a little worried, King An didn't show a single face, and the prince went to the palace alone It was really worrying about his safety.

Xiao Xinrong waved his hand, signaling Zhang Hu not to speak, waving the whip, and the horse jumped up and rushed forward under the pain.

Zhang Hu had no choice but to bring people to resettle, just thinking about ending up and meeting with the prince soon.

The gate of King An's mansion was closed, and the guards led Xiao Xinrong to the courtyard of King An and his wife, and Tong Yingxuan, who was plain and clean, couldn't help crying when she saw Xiao Xinrong: "Second Emperor Brother, you are finally here, go and see the prince." ”

Xiao Xinrong's heart sank, and followed Tong Yingxuan into the room, only to see that King An lying on the bed was pale without a trace of blood, and the blood stains that the maid on the ground had still collected were shocking, and the depressed feeling in the room made people almost breathless.

Tong Yingxuan followed Xiao Xinrong out of the room, and Xiao Xinrong asked, "When did the third brother become so sick?"

Tong Yingxuan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said: "Since the great drought, the prince has been worried, several times to the court to write, the court is rejected, some time ago, the prince took people out to inspect, after coming back has been sighing, saying that the people have reached the point of eating grass and belly, have been blaming themselves, vomited blood that night and fell unconscious. ”

"The first thing I did after waking up was to send a letter to the concubine and the imperial brother, today I received the news that you have arrived at the city gate, he wanted to get up and go to greet him, but he vomited blood in an excitement, and just took the medicine and fell asleep. ”

"What do the Imperial Doctors say?"

"The imperial doctors said that the prince's health was not good, and he was anxious to attack his heart under hard work, but after this blood was spit out, it might be a good thing, and he would not be depressed, but he couldn't overwork during this period of time, and he could only recuperate. ”

Tong Yingxuan let out a long sigh, it's easy to say, now that there are hungry people everywhere in the city, if you don't dare to solve it quickly, maybe more people will die, and if it is causing civil unrest, it will be a big deal.

Xiao Xinrong thought of this and said to Tong Yingxuan: "If the third brother and you believe in it as brothers, this king will stay for some time and help you solve these problems, and I will go back." ”

Tong Yingxuan was overjoyed, although Tong Yingxuan has heard many people mention the situation in Yangping Prefecture in recent years, saying that there are many businesses and people live and work in peace and contentment.

Prince Alcohol and his wife, open the door of Yangping Prefecture, vigorously support merchants to settle down, there is Prince Alcohol to manage the merchants, the palace is to accumulate a huge amount of wealth, although it is not as rich as the country, but it is also an amazing amount.

Outside, the prince trained the army and strengthened the defenses, and few people in the city committed rebellion, and the people did not close their doors at night.

Xiao Xinming has always been envious, always thinking about going to Yangping Prefecture to visit Prince Alcohol and his wife, and by the way, they are studying, but unfortunately they have not been able to go until today.

Seeing that Xiao Xinrong took the initiative to stay and help deal with this matter, Tong Yingxuan nodded again and again, Xiao Xinming's condition had exhausted her, and she really had no ability to deal with the affairs outside the house.

"Mother. Sister Ying, who was about four years old, broke free from her mother and ran towards Tong Yingxuan.

"Sister Ying, this is your imperial uncle, say hello. ”

The young Xiao Yingying stood up and greeted him with a respectful appearance.

"Ying'er is also so old, Uncle Huang came in a hurry today, and he will make up for Ying'er another day. Xiao Xinrong looked at Xiao Yingying with some emotion, when she left Beijing, she was just a little baby, but now she is also a little girl doll, Xiahou Shuang has always wanted to have a daughter, if she sees Sister Ying, she will definitely be happy.

"Is Uncle Huang also coming to see my father?" asked Sister Ying, tilting her head.

"Your imperial uncle brought food, and the people outside have something to eat this time. ”

Xiao Yingying clapped her hands and cheered: "Great, so that everyone doesn't have to go hungry." ”

"You just have to take care of the third brother, don't worry about things outside the house. Xiao Xinrong said and prepared to get up and leave.

"Second Emperor Brother, you are ......"

"Go to the post station, find a few people in the house who are familiar with the terrain of Shoucheng, and go to the post station to find this king. ”

Tong Yingxuan nodded hurriedly: "Thank you, Second Emperor Brother." ”

"Princess, come and see if the prince is awake. The voice of a maid came from inside.

"The second emperor brother brought food, and now the people of our Shoucheng will be saved, so don't be sad about this matter, prince, put your mind at ease and take care of your illness." Tong Yingxuan helped Xiao Xinming up, leaned on herself, and said softly.

"Brother Huang, I'm ...... body," Xiao Xinming stopped panting before he finished speaking.

"Third brother, don't say it, let's rest more, when your matter here is resolved, I will leave, and when I leave, I will definitely return you a peaceful Shoucheng!" Xiao Xinrong said something, which inexplicably made people feel at ease.

When the second emperor brother said this, he took everything on himself, Xiao Xinming put down his heart, and nodded not politely.

The next day, Xiao Xinrong, who had rested for the night and got up, was refreshed and called out a few people who were waiting outside and went to several hard-hit counties together.

The number of displaced people on the road is terrifying, Xiao Xinrong made a rough calculation, if this is the case, the food he brought is far from enough, in the end, he underestimated this matter.

Without further ado, Xiao Xinrong asked people to build temporary shelters to bring the displaced people together, set up a cauldron and began to give porridge, while asking people to send letters to Xiahou Shuang, and continued to purchase food from all over the place, helping Shoucheng to get through this difficult time first.
